Re: Ping Jerry Bransford.
That's connected via a ball joint so there will be some movement at the
ball joint. But it shouldn't rattle or have any slop in it, just where
the cup part is supposed to be able to move around the ball part of the
joint.

Thanks,
I just didn't know how much movement it should have. I've got the toe
in set at 1/8 , still have some vibration at 55/60 mph but she's
running straight and true.. I'm guessing bad balance or wheel problem.
Thanks for your help
